So there's a bit to this before I get started on my current issue.
Earlier today I noticed that when I went back onto Pokemon White 2, it went back to a previous save. Not sure what was happening, but after two saves it seemed to be fixed. Later on, it went back to that previous save.
At some point it said "SD/TF card error" upon startup, but after removing it and placing it back in it was fixed. After more messing about, I found out White 1 was also doing this.
After some research I was told that my SD card was likely corrupt somehow, and that I should backup my files and format it. I transfer the files to my laptop, format the SD card (I assume I wasn't actually supposed to do this and misread an instruction) and transferred the files back.
"SD/TF card error" again. But, when I next place the micro SD back into my laptop it says "You need to format this drive to use it." This is where I think "Oh no. I did a no-no."
I've read up some other threads here but haven't been able to bear much fruit. Tried to "chkdsk" it in Command Prompt, but that didn't work because it's a "RAW" drive, whatever that means. Tried to used Testdisk which didn't work, I think because the drive was "too small" or something, and subsequently tried to use Photorec. This might have actually worked but I'm not sure if it actually recovered all of the nds files, which is why I'm posting this to see if there are any other options (plus there were like 20 "WARIOWARETOUCHED.NDS" files and I'm not sure what to make of that). Tried to use Recuva instead, but it wasn't able to read it since it doesn't have recognisable file types. Then I got the idea to use Recuva in my Downloads folder, since I did have my files in there earlier, but that didn't work.
What I wanna know is how I can recover these files if possible, but also if Photorec was successful and what I can do about those?
